Asthma affects millions of individuals and is commonly seen on applications for social security disability and ssi disability benefits. Asthma is a chronic disease of the respiratory system that involves inflammation of the airways. Asthma related inflammation causes excessive mucous production within the airways, which results in constricted airways. Asthma is triggered by various stimuli, such as pets, medication, pollutions, chemicals, hormones, exposure to cigarette smoke, and other pathogens in the environment. Treatment of asthma may include the use of inhalers, nebulizers, medications, and simply limiting exposure to triggering stimuli when possible. Asthma is treated as a listing level impairment and, accordingly, a disability claimant with asthma can be approved for disability on the basis of meeting specific listing criteria, or on the basis of a medical vocational allowance where the determination is made that the claimant is incapable of doing their past work or any other work. Claimants with asthma or any other medical impairment, however, should be aware that the disability process can be a very long one. For this reason, it is important for claimants to learn all they can regarding how to apply and how to appeal a denial of a claim.
